Spanish television celebrity Sandra Barneda found a clever way this week to reveal to viewers that she is gay.

Host of the Telecinco political show Un Tiempo Nuevo (A New Time) and the talk show Hable Con Ellas (Talk With Women), Barneda was asked a question on Wednesday (17 December) and gave a very honest answer, according to OnTopMag.com.

The openly gay Bravo executive and host of Watch What Happens Live told Rancic on her E! News program that Russia’s 'discriminatory policies make it unsafe for the gays who live there and gays coming to work or visit.'
